Garden Update: June 14, 2021

We had over 2 inches of rain last night and I thought I’d better see how beat down the garden was. Luckily, there are no puddles in the gardens so it looks like the garden beds are draining well.

The dogwood tree blossoms are still looking good, but I don’t know how long they will last.
The radishes on the right in the raised planter look pretty beat down. The lettuce looks ready to pick!
The geranium flowers always need to be trimmed after a heavy rain.
The Spearmint looks a little bedraggled. It will perk up!
Cucumber plants are starting to spread out.
The first cucumber!
Just planted more cucumber seeds two weeks ago so maybe we’ll have cucumbers later in the season.
The Chamomile always looks like it took a beating after a rain, but you can see the beginning of flowers.
Lemon balm and Stevia. Time to pick and dry some lemon balm leaves.
Basil and Rosemary. I’ll snip a few basil leaves today when the plants dry out a little.
The Thyme is finally starting to perk up.
Carrots and Lavender. Even after 2 inches of rain, wet but no puddles…good drainage! Right now we need sunshine!
Green and yellow beans.
Second planting of beans.
Tomatoes.
Blossoms galore!
And then there’s our diehard Echinacea! Come on guys…let’s get going! We have faith you can do it!

I must say, it’s days like this that give me hope that everything is right with the world…well, at least in my little corner of it! Enjoy!
